 		[HOAX] ElectricMetal.net
http://electricmetal.net

I picked this up from the Bungie Forums but it looks like it was originially posted on the HBO Forums back on the 23rd.

If you view the source on the homepage, you will find a line of "Go Dies". Removing the Go Dies leaves:

"HELP

HELP ME

PLEASE

MY ADDRESS IS

ICANNOTTALKFORVERYLONGSOINEEDYOURHELP

MY HOUSE GOT FLOODED

I USED TO BE ABOARD FALLS REQUEST"

Other's have picked out references to Halo through IM's received from TakenbytheDawn (A SN taken from the source of electricmetal.net) .

Looking at the the Buddy Info for TakenbytheDawn points you to another SN Theblackflame17.



There appears to be coordinates which point to an Air Force base in Nevada. Area 51?

I'm not sure that is all a real ARG or some poor attempt, but I'll leave it up to you all to snuff it all out.

OMG someone needs our help! I've never seen such a thing before!!...was this lauched via AIM?

from the site wrote:
... there was a glitch and stuff is weirding out. Some stuff disappears, new stuff comes, and some chick keeps putting messages in random places
I had this dream about bees and a website that got corupted, and weird messages appeared on the site. Maybe it's just me but it's way to familiar...like it's happened before even.

ok, enough cynicism for now

here's a whois:

Yeah, we really surpassed ourselves this time... doing a WHOIS on a webdomain, that IS indeed stretching what is logically possible on a human level Rolling Eyes

Just wait until we get the RFID implants, and *then* see how much stuff we get to find out about one another. Wink
